I don't have to be employed????

Ladies...I'm not really employed full-time and working my butt off!!! I just have "commitments" that I take care of for 10 hours/day. In the meantime, let's plan a date for the evening after your food stamps are renewed.

Yeah...BS. It's so thick in here that I'm putting on my boots.

Considering that the dating process is kind of expensive in the sense of outings together, I would say that it is not a level equal situation unless she is jobless also.

It is really not a materialistic issue as much as a realistic issue. One could go to the park and sit and visit for at least one of the dates but variety would be nice, I would think anyway.

Comparing love to money is like Uhm...religion and politics

Damn, I thought I killed this thread....

That depends on whether or not you are independently wealthy by way of a large inheritance.

But if you are broke:

That would not be considered "dating." The reason I say this is because "dating" assumes "courting" and "courting" assumes steps towards marriage and mating and the procreating of the species.

If you are unemployed and unable to find work, you have no business working on any prospect of the responsibility of having or raising a family.

Now if you were to just be looking for a roll in the hay or to have sex, the smart choice would be a very married woman. That way, if by chance you were to impregnate her, she might be able to bare your child and pretend it was her husband's child as long as you were the same race, and especially if you looked a little like her husband.

If you are "dating" with the idea to bed a young single lady
you might want to consider the consequences of knocking her up and the child support that follows and the jail time you will serve if you don't have the money to pay it.

So "dating" at the point when you have no job and no prospects should be considered just a friendship with no sex or ideas of marriage involved.

Well... if you're able to afford to go on a date, then sure... knock yourself out.

The problems start when you're moochin' off your date because you're pretty much broke. That's not cool no matter how you look at it.

That is Love. We are talking about "dating." But your attitude sounds a little irresponsible and clueless about the reason for Men and Women in the overall scheme of things... meaning the procreation of the species.

When women finally start making, in general, the same amount of money as men, and start getting promotions to manager as much as men, then you can have your 50/50. It has not happened yet.

I would think that the "balance point" would be closer to 60F/40M, since the female bears the children and also suffers major physiological changes during her employable years. That is the balance where I would discuss 50/50 payment of romance costs.

Unless your a gigolo.................or looking for a sugardaddy

You are right, a balance will never be achieved until we revert back to our natural spiritual state of being transgenders (both male and female) where either partner can give birth and there is no separation between male and female.
